In recent decades, mental health is one of the basic factors in the lives of citizens in developed countries. Paying attention to the fact that a large part of citizens' time is spent in urban spaces, it is important to pay attention to the physical components that lead to improving the mental health of citizens. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of physical components on the components of improving the mental health of citizens in the urban spaces of Tabriz. This study was conducted in terms of practical purpose and correlation method. First, research components were extracted in two categories: mental health components and physical components of urban spaces based on scientific principles, and then a questionnaire was designed to evaluate the effect of physical components on mental health. In this article, the statistical population is the citizens of Tabriz city, who use the two urban spaces of Ainali and El-Goli as the most important collective spaces. according to Cochran's formula, the sample size was determined as 384 people, the questionnaires were analyzed using Spearmon's correlation coefficient test in SPSS software. The physical components include spatial diversity, space flexibility, environmental issues, climate comfort, environmental facilities, privacy, legibility and visual beauty, and mental health including a sense of peace, personal security, mental images. Providing needs, happiness, sense of belonging and social interactions. The highest correlation belongs to the component of spatial diversity with the component of providing needs (0.478) and the lowest correlation to the component of climate comfort with the component of personal security (0.104). According to the findings of this article, the correlation between more than 90% of the physical and mental components is strong or moderate, and this result shows that the physical components have a high impact on the mental health of citizens.

The alienation feeling is a kind of mental state arising from the city in which the citizens feel a sense of separation and lack of belonging towards themselves and the city social, physical, cultural and historical environments. Urban spaces make citizens feel alienated. This research was done with the aim of presenting a conceptual model to explain the causal, background and intervention conditions that affect the urban space alienation feeling. In this mixed method research in the qualitative stage, interviews were conducted with 32 Ahvaz citizens until theoretical saturation, and by the theme analyze, a conceptual model was presented to explain and how the conditions affect the alienation feeling. In the quantitative stage, with the structural equation modeling, the alienation feeling causal structure was investigated for 310 Ahvaz citizens who were randomly selected in a stratified manner. Qualitative findings showed that city space ineffectiveness, insecurity, lack of city vibrancy, poor quality of city structures, city inaccessibility and unviability are the most important causes of the alienation feeling. The gender, family, ethnicity and culture of the people are also the background conditions. Inaccessibility has the greatest effect with a causal path coefficient of 0.65, followed by urban space insecurity with a coefficient of 0.60. The unviability of the city with a causal path coefficient of 0.51 had the least impact on the feeling of alienation in the urban space of Ahvaz. The feeling of alienation in urban spaces is strongly affected by interventions such as policy and legislation, urban designs, and gender segregation. The optimal and intelligent design of cities, taking into account individual and gender differences, ethnic and cultural symbols, and of course the security and accessibility of the city, provides the possibility that citizens feel less alienated from the urban space and their residence place.

One of the basic prerequisites for attracting the participation of citizens is the existence of appropriate urban spaces, which can meet the needs of citizens from different dimensions and improve the level of their interactions. , and the clutter of the urban body is very important. The purpose of the current research is to investigate the structural model of the role of urban space in enabling citizens to participate in Shahrekord, and in terms of the purpose (type of use) it is an applied research. The method used in this research is a descriptive-analytical method. The statistical population of this study includes the residents of Shahrekord with the number of (190,441). The number of samples was determined to be 383, based on the Cochran's formula, and randomly available. The data collection tool included a 38-question questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed based on structural equation path analysis with AMOS software. The results show that, in general, urban space, the level of citizen participation in the city. The approach has had a positive and significant effect, as urban space has had an impact on participation with a coefficient of 0.17, and the relationship between the physical structure of public spaces has the greatest impact on participation with a coefficient of 0.45, and a network structure. On participation, the coefficient of impact is 0.19.

Vitality is one of the basic needs of cities that with the development of urbanization and social harms, its importance is increasing day by day. Focusing on environmental qualities leads to the efficiency and vitality of urban spaces, the continuation of urban life and the strengthening of physical-mental health characteristics and belonging to the place. Today, we are witnessing a decline in environmental qualities, lively activities, lack of natural and urban green spaces, and as a result, the active and lively presence of people in urban spaces is diminishing. Parklet is one of the factors that can be effective in encouraging citizens to walk and increase vitality in urban spaces. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess and evaluate the role of Parklets in order to increase vitality in one of the most important promenades and pedestrian boulevards in Hamadan called Eram Boulevard. The research method is applied and survey and the data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire to obtain citizens' opinions and the reliability of the data was calculated by Cronbach's alpha of 0.845. The statistical population of the study includes all people who walk on Eram Boulevard in Hamedan, but there are no exact statistics in this regard. Therefore, the sample size was evaluated based on the Cochran's formula in the Likert spectrum by 360 users of this space. In order to analyze the data, one-sample t-test, Pearson correlation and multivariate regression in SPSS statistical software were used. The results indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between the variables of public space expansion, improving street landscape, a place for social interactions, increasing economic income and improving quality of life with vitality. Also, the index of social interactions and improving the landscape of the street have the greatest impact on increasing the vitality of Eram Boulevard in Hamedan.

Introduction The city is a cultural-physical complex that is formed based on the needs, activities and behaviors of its inhabitants (Pour Mohammadi et al., 2015: 30). Urban spaces are one of the areas of manifestation of human behavior (Bardi Anna Moradnejad and Makran 20: 1398). Attention is paid to the links between spatial changes in the city and people's behavioral patterns (Abdolhahi Turkmani et al., 2012: 211). It also includes any activity or action that a living being performs, such as "a reflection or set of values based on a person's situation." D (Saeidian, 1382: 52) During the process of socialization, behavior is influenced by culture and by this process; language, customs and traditions, values and expectations are taught (Namazian, 1: 1397) Bahraini states that activities Humans rely on culture, culture creates a pattern of behavior, and this "behavioral pattern determines and expresses how people use spaces" (Bahraini, 2011: 43) Environment of artificial, natural and Their composition is composed. (Farhang Doostfard, 2000, 1997). Data and Method In order to have a normal data distribution, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used. Independent variables of this study include indicators of diversity, flexibility, permeability, visual fitness, readability, sensory richness and variable and behavioral patterns of citizens. . The selection of these variables was done to measure based on theoretical literature and the sources of existing research, as well as interviews with experts in the field of urban planning. In order to measure the questions related to the effect of physical-environmental components on the behavioral pattern of citizens, the Cronbach's alpha obtained is 0.76 and since this value is higher than 0.7, it indicates that the questions related to the variables have a good reliability. The statistical population of this study is the beneficiaries of the use of the space of 30 Tir Street, who have been present at the place of residence from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The sampling method was also random, using cluster sampling with a simple random sampling of 384 people. In order to measure the reliability of the questionnaire, a prototype included 30 over-tested questionnaires. Then, using Cronbach's alpha method, its reliability was checked. This figure was obtained for independent variables of 0.787 and for 0.77 variables, which indicates the necessary reliability of the questionnaire. Results and Discussion The Pearson coefficients correlation matrix between the components of physical components with behavioral patterns can be observed. The results show that there was the highest correlation coefficient between the dimensions of physical components with the behavioral patterns of citizens between permeability (P <0.01, r = 0.0579) and the lowest correlation coefficient between sensory richness and behavioral patterns. . (P <0.01, p = 0.142) In this study, multiple regression analysis between the components of physical components was used as a predictor variable and behavioral patterns were used as a criterion variable by simultaneous method. The results of multiple correlation coefficients indicate that in general, there is a direct relationship between the components of physical components with the behavioral patterns of citizens and significant statistical continuity. (599R =, 01 / 0sig =). In addition, the correlation coefficient shows that by changing the status of physical components, the behavioral patterns of their citizens also increase. 0) and visual fit (0.187) is clearly evident, but in terms of the impact of sensory richness in the study area, this impact on citizens' behavioral patterns has been largely indirect. The value of F is equal to 984.764 and its significance is equal to 0.000 and since it is less than 0.05, its significance is obvious and shows that the dimensions of the independent variables in this study can change the dependent variable. Express. Therefore, considering the calculated value for F at the 99% confidence level, it can be said that the linear composition of the independent variables in this study are also significant and as a result, they are able to predict the variable changes Conclusion The Pearson coefficients correlation matrix between the components of physical components with behavioral patterns can be observed.

Being able to equally benefit from the advantages and amenities of a civil life in the best way is considered as one of the indispensable rights of all citizens and residents of a city. Physically disabled and handicapped people and veterans are a part of the society whose needs must be satisfied disregarding their physical health conditions; therefore, tailoring various urban environments and utilities to the use of the disabled people is very crucial. In this article, by surveying disabled people and by employing field study and using 6 criteria and 46 sub-criteria, the proportion of different urban environments and utilities in different areas of Dogonbadan town to the needs of the disabled according to the established standards is investigated. Data are analyzed using such statistical methods as TOPSIS algorithm and T-test and employing SPSS software. Results indicate that regarding urban planning and designing standards specific to the disabled, no sufficient and suitable measures are taken in Dogonbadan town and none of the evaluated spaces and uses in this town have a suitable customization for the disabled in between various areas: parks and green spaces, educational spaces, libraries, a sports hall and passages and in between urban areas 4 and 5 are worst. In this regard, every urban area is prioritized for customization in each criterion according to a ranking of urban areas using the criteria under study.

The aim of this article is to study the urban space effect on the rate of citizen participation in the neighborhoods of Tabriz. Method of study is documental and based on survey. Data was collected by using questionaire and research. The target populations are the households living in the city of Tabriz in 1385 and a statistical sample of 450 households is estimated based on the Cochran formula. Method of appropriate class with systematic random sampling is used and samples from old and new areas with different local values and cultures such as Valiasr, city centre, Baghmisheh, Yaghchiyan, Shahrake Emam and Silab Qushkhanh are selected. Data collected for analysis of descriptive and analytical statistics are used in SPSS and Lisrel software. The reliability of the research is based on calculating Cronbach's alpha 0.81.
The results of the study indicate that the citizen participation rate in department of urban affairs is higher than moderate. But comparing the different neighborhoods in the flactuation and dedication shows that Shahrake Emam is highest and city center is the lowest. Also the variables such as sex, type of ownership, residence area, education, housing, living history and sense of belonging can affect the level of citizen participation. Among these factors, a sense of belonging, education and living history is the most important factors that influence the citizen participation.
